How to Make a Long Tea Infusion

Measure Your Herbs:
Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup of First Defense Herbal Tea per quart (4 cups) of water. Adjust based on desired strength.

Boil Water:
Bring water to a boil, then immediately reduce to a simmer.

Add Your Herbs:
Pour the hot, simmering water over the herbs, either in a heat-safe container like a glass jar or teapot. Stir gently to ensure the herbs are fully submerged.

Let It Infuse:
Cover the container and let the herbs infuse for 3-4 hours or longer (up to 12 hours), depending on the strength you prefer. This long infusion process draws out the herbs' maximum medicinal benefits.

Strain and Store:
After infusing, strain out the herbs and pour the liquid into a clean glass jar or container.

Refrigerate:
Store the infusion in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Reheat and Enjoy:
When you’re ready for a soothing cup, reheat a portion of the tea in a pot. The medicinal properties remain potent, giving you lasting benefits throughout the day.

Cautions:

Consult with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications, especially if dealing with respiratory conditions or allergies. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use if any adverse reactions occur.
